Implication

Electroacupuncture improved insulin resistance and reduced inflammatory markers in a rat model of type 2 diabetes, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits.

Key Points

EA treatment reduced insulin resistance and inflammatory cytokines, with significant metabolic benefits.
Fasting insulin and blood glucose levels decreased, indicating improved glucose metabolism after EA and pioglitazone.
Echocardiography and histology confirmed favorable cardiac structure and function, associated with GLUT4 expression increase.
These findings support EA as a non-pharmacological approach to manage diabetic cardiometabolic risks.
